Quote from Neil Thomas' new book, 'One-Hour Wargames.'

"Old Glory......are most famous for manufacturing the LARGEST SELECTION of 10mm miniatures currently available." This from the section of useful addresses - needless to say Pendraken does not get a mention. Go Figure! The Old Glory 10mm Russian SYW army is amazing  :d :d :d!

The Old Glory 10mm Russian SYW army is almost as good as The Old Glory 10mm League of Augsburg range

I have several units of Old Glory WSS figures, but by and large I wouldn't use them again - except, perhaps, the generals. The poses are a bit wooden and the cast flags are pretty awful.

The OG 10mm ancients range is pretty extensive, I've got maybe a dozen armies which are totaly or predominantly OG.

But the omission of Pendraken is hard to understand.

Pendraken? Never heard of them. What do they do? Plastic 28mm Space Cadets or something ....

We (the grapes in the Pendraken hemorrhoid) are up in arms about nothing! Gentlemen, I think that your rituals would be somewhat akin to mine. There is the ritual cleansing, the calming of the aura, the lighting of the four pure candles, and the dressing in the approved underwear and white gloves. Then one may draw out the sacred figures and lay them in the prescribed patterns, and recite the songs of praise to the Dark Lord and thankfulness for his works - these take a bit longer now with the added verses revering Milady. Then one has the ceremonial libation, and I must confess that at that point the emotion usually gets me and I have to sit in a darkened corner and compose myself. 

Once that has been done, then one can actually get some wargaming done. The book is called "One-hour Wargames." It takes an hour in preparation and appreciation of Pendraken figures - you'd have to use Old Glory figures to get started in that time!

I don't think they do Centurions.
I have neither the time or the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Fsn, I don't think the neck-tourniquet was an awfully good idea.....

Bit of a rubbish range if they don't do centurions in their Roman army.
Pah!
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!
